clemens_n romanus_n i_o note_v before_o wherefore_o it_o will_v be_v little_o less_o than_o blasphemy_n to_o apply_v the_o word_n of_o a_o christian_a hymn_n proper_a to_o a_o eternal_a be_v unto_o a_o lewd_a mortal_a man._n thus_o tertullian_n argue_v and_o if_o his_o comparison_n be_v true_o make_v as_o it_o be_v a_o form_n use_v by_o all_o the_o people_n at_o the_o theatre_n so_o it_o must_v be_v in_o some_o form_n which_o the_o people_n repeat_v at_o church_n that_o be_v probable_o in_o the_o gloria_fw-la patri_fw-la because_o it_o still_o stand_v in_o that_o part_n of_o this_o hymn_n which_o the_o people_n say_v but_o it_o serve_v my_o purpose_n as_o well_o since_o it_o must_v be_v a_o form_n say_v by_o the_o people_n as_o if_o it_o be_v the_o end_n of_o any_o other_o hymn_n but_o he_o wonder_v that_o the_o african_n who_o belong_v to_o the_o latin_a church_n shall_v say_v the_o gloria_fw-la patri_fw-la in_o greek_a whereas_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v from_o tertullian_n that_o they_o say_v it_o in_o greek_a his_o argument_n be_v as_o good_a if_o they_o have_v say_v it_o in_o latin_a only_o the_o roman_n use_v many_o solemn_a form_n in_o greek_a both_o in_o their_o theatre_n and_o their_o temple_n and_o xiphiline_n set_v down_o this_o in_o greek_a so_o that_o probable_o tertullian_n refer_v to_o that_o passage_n in_o the_o historian_n and_o only_o mean_v it_o be_v use_v in_o greek_a in_o the_o theatre_n he_o may_v also_o read_v it_o in_o greek_a in_o clemens_n romanus_n and_o in_o irenaeus_n and_o so_o cite_v it_o in_o greek_a but_o that_o will_v no_o more_o prove_v the_o african_a service_n be_v in_o greek_a than_o that_o the_o roman_a or_o gallican_n church_n use_v to_o say_v it_o in_o greek_a in_o clemens_n or_o irenaeus_n time_n only_o from_o this_o and_o many_o other_o greek_a word_n leave_v uninterprete_v in_o tertullian_n and_o other_o african_a father_n we_o may_v be_v sure_a the_o african_a people_n know_v some_o greek_a especial_o short_a and_o

analysis_n of_o a_o extempore_o prayer_n yet_o if_o i_o admit_v it_o for_o a_o description_n my_o cause_n be_v not_o hurt_v since_o according_a to_o this_o character_n he_o that_o read_v the_o

represent_v the_o sentiment_n of_o his_o soul_n in_o expression_n suitable_a and_o proper_a to_o beget_v and_o improve_v such_o affection_n and_o resentment_n in_o all_o the_o true_a lover_n of_o common-prayer_n who_o hear_v and_o join_v with_o he_o wherefore_o by_o his_o account_n the_o dissenter_n have_v no_o monopoly_n of_o this_o gift_n of_o prayer_n and_o if_o our_o heart_n be_v due_o

why_o every_o private_a minister_n can_v have_v the_o same_o liberty_n that_o the_o governor_n of_o a_o settle_a church_n have_v as_o for_o his_o suppose_v these_o minister_n will_v vary_v no_o more_o from_o the_o lord_n prayer_n if_o they_o have_v liberty_n than_o the_o liturgy_n do_v first_o this_o be_v very_o unlikely_a because_o some_o of_o those_o who_o take_v this_o liberty_n neither_o use_v the_o lord_n prayer_n as_o a_o form_n nor_o mind_n it_o as_o a_o direction_n for_o their_o extempore_o prayer_n and_o second_o the_o project_n be_v impracticable_a among_o 10000_o clergyman_n for_o

have_v the_o ordinary_a assistance_n of_o the_o spirit_n than_o any_o of_o we_o can_v invent_v on_o the_o sudden_a second_o this_o liberty_n will_v be_v pernicious_a occasion_v envy_n among_o the_o

by_o antiquity_n reason_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o other_o modern_a church_n have_v prohibit_v that_o way_n and_o prescribe_v form_n they_o be_v certain_o the_o better_a way_n for_o we_o pag._n 11._o he_o yield_v at_o last_o that_o the_o frame_n and_o act_n of_o the_o soul_n the_o exercise_n of_o faith_n repentance_n love_n etc._n etc._n be_v the_o principal_a thing_n in_o prayer_n now_o when_o i_o have_v prove_v that_o a_o minister_n may_v do_v all_o this_o and_o so_o pray_v by_o the_o spirit_n in_o a_o form_n why_o may_v he_o not_o be_v oblige_v always_o to_o use_v a_o form_n in_o public_a mr._n s._n b._n can_v object_v nothing_o but_o this_o if_o the_o enjoin_v form_n do_v not_o so_o well_o express_v that_o sense_n which_o he_o and_o other_o have_v of_o the_o matter_n of_o prayer_n as_o other_o word_n which_o occur_v to_o he_o than_o he_o can_v be_v say_v to_o pray_v in_o or_o by_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o full_a import_n of_o the_o phrase_n now_o this_o supposition_n

the_o liturgy_n can_v frame_v by_o much_o study_n second_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o use_v these_o new_a phrase_n be_v by_o his_o account_n the_o full_a and_o only_o import_v of_o pray_v by_o the_o spirit_n for_o he_o make_v vary_v the_o phrase_n necessary_a to_o the_o exercise_n of_o it_o and_o his_o extempore_o man_n be_v singular_a in_o nothing_o else_o but_o he_o shall_v consider_v this_o be_v a_o scripture-phrase_n and_o the_o import_n of_o it_o be_v to_o be_v learn_v from_o thence_o wherefore_o he_o shall_v have_v bring_v some_o text_n where_o pray_v by_o the_o spirit_n signify_v invent_v new_a phrase_n but_o that_o he_o can_v never_o do_v and_o reason_n be_v against_o his_o exposition_n as_o well_o as_o scripture_n for_o since_o he_o own_v new_a word_n not_o to_o be_v the_o principal_a thing_n in_o prayer_n no_o man_n will_v believe_v the_o spirit_n assistance_n be_v necessary_a for_o the_o less_o principal_a yea_o where_o we_o have_v proper_a phrase_n already_o for_o a_o needless_a thing_n wherefore_o when_o in_o the_o use_n of_o our_o form_n our_o soul_n be_v in_o good_a frame_n and_o we_o exercise_v all_o proper_a grace_n by_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o
